"Then lead a team and do it yourself," the Association Leader said calmly. He extended his hand, and the spinning, spike-covered formation crystal reappeared in his palm.
He gave it a gentle toss, watching as the crystal shot out and vanished into the floor of the underground palace like a phantom.
Then, his hands blurred as he formed a series of dense, complex hand seals. A soft, blue-black fluorescent glow began to emanate from his body.
The Heart Marshal assented in a low voice, then turned to lead her people out of the underground palace.
The continuous activation of the formation had already begun. With the Association Leader present, nothing would be a problem.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a slightly urgent voice called out from the exit of the underground palace.
The Fourth Princess, Song Feishi, her expression icy, appeared in a flash to block the Heart Marshal's path.
"Association Leader, the Third City Lord isn't the only one in Black Cloud City! There's another variable!"
